Reuters notes that at this point in the 2012 presidential contest, there was barely a 2 point margin between President Obama and opponent Mitt Romney.

In related news, CNN shared it's latest projected electoral college map today. Due to recent polling, CNN has moved several important swing states (New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Virginia) to "lean Democrat" from "Battleground."

For now, this would indicate that Clinton would have 273 electoral votes (you need 270 to win) if the election were held today.
